2021 NFL Power Rankings, Week 7: Ravens win big, Cowboys steal one in OT

Kirk Cousins and the Minnesota Vikings were able to get to 3-3 on the season after holding on for the win against Carolina this weekend. Up 28-20 with less than five minutes to go, they were unable to stop Sam Darnold and the Panthers as they tied it up and sent the game to overtime.

Minnesota kept their composure and put Carolina away with an impressive nine-play drive that covered 75-yards and ended with a touchdown from Cousins to K.J. Osborn. Now, they get a week off before a Halloween date with the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football. That should be one that tells us a lot about this roller-coaster team.

The Seattle Seahawks deserve a lot of credit for how hard they fought in their Sunday Night Football contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers. On the road and without their star quarterback — Russell Wilson had to have surgery on his hand — they clawed back into the game after falling behind 14-0 in the first half.

They were able to cut the lead on an Alex Collins touchdown run and a Will Dissly touchdown reception from Geno Smith. They later tied it up on a 40-yard field goal from Jason Myers and did so again when Myers hit one at the end of regulation — after a weird segment that included D.K. Metcalf fumbling the ball and the refs stopping the clock to review the play.

In the overtime period, T.J. Watt made a huge sack on Smith on their first possession, then did the same on their second, this time causing a fumble that ended up putting Pittsburgh in position for the game-winner from Chris Boswell.
